From the Google.org Blog, I heard about the Dengue Map. It's a Google Maps-based health map showing the locations around the world where there have been incidences of dengue. The maps was created by HealthMap and is a result of a Google.org grant. Dengue is on my mind because I'm living in Barbados where there is a worry about dengue, mosquitoes are everywhere, and according to this map Barbados is an area of ongoing transmission risk. I've heard that there's one child who got dengue, though I don't see that listed here as yet. Wear your bug spray!
